1939
Section A at Rupert's House, loading the schooner for sail across James
Bay to Moose Factory. One canoe is already lashed onto the deck. The
section had paddled from Oskelaneo to Mistassini then run the Rupert
River. Rod Cox was staff. Dan Carpenter Sr. was a camper.

NOTES:

Crossing
the Bay

We
were out of sight of land for a good portion of the sail. To get to
Moose Factory the sailor had to find the river channel and it was getting
dark. He finally found it just before dark to the relief of all.

But
what a difference to trippers today who use planes to cover the same
routes. One might say they don't know what they missed.
